Travel Turtle

In all my years of soliciting and offering travel advice, there’s one fact that has never come up. Lines. Lines? Yeah, those things that people stand in to be able to enter a place, pay for a ticket, or see something.
When I was in kindergarten, Mrs. Grant assigned a new “star of the day” every [...]

Creativity Prompt. Have you been there before? They offer a lot of prompts, on different topics, and I decided to do one today. A prompt from October. It’s about uniqueness in yourself and using the prompt, I thought I would talk about uniqueness in me. I might get off topic. We’ll see.
Here’s a story of [...]

Ok.
I love my new blog.
I started it kind-of on a whim when I lost a job I only had for a week, but in that week started to love.
I remembered that I’m the kind of person who likes doing something that I like to do (and as ridiculous and “duh” as that sounds, how many [...]

I love it when people write what their typical day looks like. It reminds me of when I worked at a grocery store in college and  would see what people bought and learned a lot about how to save money on groceries, how delicious perogies are and other random things. It’s the attitude that if [...]

Every year Ali Edwards starts off the new year by choosing a word for the year. Wow that sentence was awkward. I decided to join in the fun this year. My word for 2009? GO.
Yes, GO.

Why? Because of many things. I want to take all I’ve learned in 2008 and before and GO with it. [...]

Happy New Year!!
I wanted to take a moment to thank YOU for being a part of what made 2008 so great for me. I have really enjoyed blogging, reading your blogs, comments, emails and getting to know you. I appreciate the patience as I continue to find my voice on this blog and flip between [...]

I saw this on Rifferaff and thought I’d join the fun. Basically, you write what cities you’ve been to in 2008. The catch is that you have to have slept in that city at least one night! I’m not going to include the city I live in, though.

Luquillo, Puerto Rico
A plane over the Atlantic
Muelheim, Germany

He also purchased a print by one of my favorite sellers, artquirk. I can’t find the image, but all of artquirk’s work is beautiful. (Her work is not going to be available [...]
